Association of early dietary fiber intake and mortality in septic patients with mechanical ventilation based on MIMIC IV 2.1 database: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether early dietary fiber intake in septic patients is associated with a better clinical prognosis remains unclear, especially the time and the amount. Therefore, we assessed the association between early dietary fiber intake and clinical outcomes in septic patients by examining an extensive database.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the MIMIC IV 2.1 database, focusing on consecutive septic patients requiring mechanical ventilation in medical or mixed medical-surgical ICUs. We collected patient demographics and nutritional data. Dietary fiber amounts were calculated according to enteral nutrition instructions from manufacturers within the first 72 h after admission. After adjusting for covariates, we employed restricted cubic spl
